Biden Speaks Truth: Democrats are “Turkeys”

CNN:

Joe Biden has campaigned for a lot of Democrats during his lifetime in politics — including a few who are “turkeys,” the vice president joked at a Thursday night fundraiser in Virginia.

Attending the fundraising event on behalf of three Democratic House members from Virginia — Reps. Glenn Nye, Gerry Connolly and Tom Perriello — at the home of former Virginia Sen. Chuck Robb, an off-script Biden suggested competence doesn’t stretch across the entire Democratic Party.

“These guys are smart, “Biden said of the three Virginia congressmen. “Some of the guys Chuck [Robb] and I have campaigned for are turkeys. Not all Democrats are created equal, while most Republicans are.”

Biden went on to say the candidates are “independent minded” and “damn competent,” and all share the party’s core principles of health care and energy reform.

Nye and Perriello, hailing from the more conservative regions of the once solidly Republican-voting state, are expected to face especially difficult re-election races.

    Core principles, “health care and energy reform” … And how is that a principle?

    Maybe that’s the Democrat’s problem, they are a criminal enterprise trying to find their principles.

    Someone as goofy as batsh!t should know a turkey I guess

    I find it interesting that he admits that the democratic party has it’s pointer going in all different directions (not quite knowing what to do, or what the party line is supposed to be) yet he “accuses” republicans of being all the same. You mean of sound mind and body, Joe? Or do you mean that we are all hate-mongers who wish nothing more than to sink the first black president? or do you mean that the conservative constituents(i.e. the masses) are all together on this one, for the first time in decades? Please elaborate, oh “CORKY” of the VP, please tell us what you truly meant. If, of course, you can remove your shoe leather from your over-sized tongue.

    Gotta love this buffoon. Let’s hope he doesn’t advance beyond his present position.
